If else block in batch file

Improve this answer. James Hill James Hill How can I use two conditions in an if? I had tried your answer but I couldn't had run it but I tried again and modified to my code ant it run. It works fine under Win7. See example: paste2. Show 3 more comments. Bali C Bali C You don't have to nest them with blocks in batch files either.

Joey I don't quite follow. I know the else if combo is just a nested if but I didn't think you could use those keywords together in batch like you can in C languages.

Hmm I still can't get it to work, but I'll take your word for it, you know what you're talking about, I'll leave this answer as a long version : — Bali C. Thank you for your answers but none of them did't run in my code. Amado Saladino Amado Saladino 1, 17 17 silver badges 20 20 bronze badges.

Shouldn't the statement in the second condition be "do that"? It should be do foo and do bar. This may work sometimes, but if you believe it is an actual programming structure acceptable in DOS then it's going to be a PITA to troubleshoot when it fails.

This is so that the IF statement will treat the string as a single item and not as several separate strings. This is an important difference because if you compare numbers as strings it can lead to unexpected results: "2" will be greater than "19" and "" will be less than "10".

IF should work within the full range of 32 bit signed integer numbers -2,,, through 2,,, You can perform a string comparison on very long numbers, but this will only work as expected when the numbers are exactly the same length:.

You see things; and you say 'Why? Using parentheses to group and expand expressions. It also serves to have a quick review at all the operators with their description.

Form your own expressions for every operator using some variables and evaluate the results. Assuming that now you are comfortable with operators and variables, we move on to the next topic. A computer program is defined to be a block of code that takes some inputs to the user, performs the computation and returns the result of computation to the user. Conditional statements are very essential in any computer program.

Conditional statements allow us to do different things in our program based on the conditions. Without these conditional statements, our code would do the same thing every time it is given an input. Conditionals are the best statements that we can write in a program. They allow the program to vary itself for a particular case. The syntax for the IF statement is similar to that of all the programming languages and it executes a block only if the guard condition is true in case it is false, the else block is executed.
